I thought this book was interesting, and it was cool to read it in script form, but it felt like it was just banking on the success of the Harry Potter fandom.

"The Eighth Story. Nineteen Years Later.
Based on an original new story by J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, a new play by Jack Thorne, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. The play will receive its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016.
It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children.
While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places."

This, is easily the worst book in the series. Not even by JK Rowling.
This book is very fun and good to act with. The basic story flows with others. I enjoyed this book and so did other friends of mine^^
This book is VERY enjoyable! I LOOOOOOOOVE IT!!! I wish it wouldn't be in script form though.
this book is totally FANTASTIC!! It is SUPER GREAT. It change the way i think about books and how i read it!
This book was great and it doesn't leave people minds' blank. It is kind of like an epilogue and lets us forget our curiosity ........................j.k. Rowling is truly a great author.....
This is the best book series in the world, and it’s actually the most selling, BEATING Diary of a Wimpy Kid. J.K Rowling will leave fans BEGGING for more books! Read this, it’s actually my favorite book series ever! Harry Potter RULES!
this book is about harry potter and friends kids and them getting into trouble. BUT IT IS IN THEATER SCRIPT!!!! that makes me VERY disapointed >:(
I was pretty good... but it wasn't quite as fun as the others... Also, it had almost nothing to do with Harry Potter
OK... Where to start.... Um... Well, This is a really controversial book, mostly because it wasn't all written by J.K Rowling and it wasn't about Harry Potter much, but was more about his son, Albus Severus. Let me just say, it was a nice story plot, just not in the way that we had all expected. When I picked this book up, I thought it would take me a day or two, like all the other Potter books had done. Wrong. It took me like an hour to read it, but I wouldn't blame that on J.K Rowling, because it was a playwright and you can't make a playwright to long. What I didn't like about it was that the book wasn't really tied in with the other books at all. It makes no sense to me when people call it the eight book! Another thing, it seemed like it was repeating over and over again. Same thing they do this, make a mistake, have to go back and fix it, make another mistake, and you get the idea. But anyway, everything else aside, it was fun to read, and a really nice plot. This is a great book that I personally loved. The book is about Harry Potter's son, Albus Severus. Albus is burdened with the pressure to become just like his father, who was the hero of the wizarding world. But when Albus befriends Scorpio Malfoy, the son of Harry's old nemesis, Draco Malfoy and is sorted into the Slytherin house, Albus is sneered at. But did Harry Potter, hero of the wizarding world, the Boy That Lived, actually sacrifice more people than he saved? When Albus and Scorpio go on a mission to save one of the kids that was killed by Voldemort, they cause more trouble than they can solve alone. But everything together, I think I will give this a four out of five... Cannot believe I am doing this to a J.K Rowling book!
